​When communication framework doesn’t exist a company can get choked. Lack of simple lines of communication and reporting, along with ad hoc meetings or long winded rants lasting for 2.5 hours are ineffective and a waste of everyone's time.

Mostly it's about unblocking obstaclesLet's assume for a minute your team is on board with the direction the company and are on the bus in terms of willing co-operation. To maintain progress around initiatives whats required is a “recurring meeting rhythm” so that effective communication can take place. Those meetings need to be succinct with inputs and outputs. They are not just having a chat, nor are they dictatorial - they need to be talking to numbers, actions lists and project tasks. When it's over it's over and people need to come away feeling empowered with clear understanding of what's to do next.
